Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry

What we are called out for in Great Yeldham
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Burns from hot pans
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Gouges in the surface
- Chips caused during installation

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most clients in Great Yeldham get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
